Not sure whether this question is much GMAT-like. In the OA (option B), the parallelism between the two clauses are not maintained. Ideally the structure should be:
While X does...., Y does.....
A more GMAT-like construction could be:
While many citizens feel powerless to influence national policy, some believe that writing to a Congressperson with an opinion is effective.
While X does...., Y does.....
A more GMAT-like construction could be:
While many citizens feel powerless to influence national policy, some believe that writing to a Congressperson with an opinion is effective.

(E) the writing of an opinion to a Congressperson may be effective.
Only the above 2 options represent the contrast and reasoning stated in the original sentence, therefore B,C,D are out
However in A and E
E: changes the meaning of the sentence
A: Is correct in meaning and follows grammatical rules
IMO A
